The week had gone without Bob's having realized the fact. Mrs. Hallowell came in a moment later, smiling at the winning, handsome young man in her fat and good-humoured manner. Bob was seized with an inspiration. "Mrs. Hallowell," he said persuasively, "just let me rummage around for five minutes, will you?" "You that hungry?" she chuckled. "Law! I'll have breakfast in an hour."
We are in a part of the sea where vessels do not venture, that is evident," she argued persuasively. "But why do you ask?" "Because you want me to be your wife," she said, looking him frankly in the eye. "I can only pray that we may be found," he said wistfully. "And in case we are never found?" "I shall probably die an old bachelor," he laughed grimly.
He would gladly have avoided his wife and daughter, but Jack took things for granted and always insisted upon dragging his mother into his grandfather's presence and mixing them up in the conversation. Elizabeth had dropped behind purposely, knowing her father's feelings toward her, and did not hear Jack say persuasively: "Grandpa, let Jack drive and make the horses go round."
'Cicely has just eaten two boiled eggs and a bowl of porridge, and is bearing up wonderfully." She drew Mrs. Westmore persuasively to her feet, but the widow refused to relinquish her hold on her grievance. "You all think I'm extravagant and careless about money," she broke out, addressing the room in general from the shelter of Mrs.
"No," replied the bar-keeper sullenly, "I'll not drink to any damned foolishness. An' Zeke won't neither." "Oh, yes, he will," Williams returned persuasively, "and so'll you, Joe. You aren't goin' back on me." "No, I'll be just damned if I am," said the barkeeper, half-conquered. "What'll you take, sir?" Williams asked me.
Rochester, who had been leaning from the barge, gazing in mingled curiosity, wonder, and admiration at the lovely face, turned now to her champion. "Who is she, Ormiston?" he said, persuasively. But Ormiston only laughed, and rowed energetically for the shore. The crowd was still lingering; and half a dozen hands were extended to draw the boat up to the landing.
Ruth represented the nun, engaged in conversation, over the lowest imaginable convent wall, with Charles, in all the glory of his cocked hat and deputy-lieutenant's uniform, who, while he held the nun's hand in one of his, pointed persuasively with the other towards an elaborately caparisoned war-horse, trembling beneath the joint weight of a yeomanry saddle and a side-saddle attached behind it, which considerably overlapped the charger's impromptu fur boa tail.
"What a question, indeed!" echoed Jeffreys; "and a sweet maid with her toes tingling to tread the golden pavements! Read, Master Morgan; the gallant knight's words will speak more persuasively than my poor tongue." Johnnie took the letter, and read as follows:
Kingston is here at his most persuasively Christian, arguing that both the good things of life and the bad, are dealt out to us by an all-seeing fatherlike God. It does not take long to read, but you will certainly enjoy it. As it probably didn't take long to write it is not one of Kingston's great masterpieces, but it is certainly worth taking note of.
Uncle is a pretty good man, but he's fond of money, and aunt is about as mean as they make 'em. They got tired of supporting me, and gave me money enough to get to New York." "I suppose you have some left," said the stranger, persuasively. "Twenty-five cents," answered Frank, laughing. "That isn't a very big capital to start on, is it?"
